Plant Metabolic Networks Edited by Jörg Schwender Plants are the basis for human nutrition and are of increasing interest for the chemical industry as a source of chemical feed stocks. Fuels derived from plant biomass will increasingly replace fossil fuels in the future. In order to increase crop productivity, design new plant products, and create new energy crops, there is need for methods of qualitative and quantitative analysis of metabolism which are able to guide the rational re-design of metabolic networks. In Plant Metabolic Networks recent advances in qualitative and quantitative analysis of metabolism are summarized to give an overview of the current state of knowledge. The book can be divided into three parts: First an introductory chapter (chapter 2), relating to the unique complexity of plant metabolism. The following three chapters describe how to analyze the components that make up the metabolic network, metabolites and enzymes. Finally, chapters 6 to 11 are devoted to network analysis and modeling. Contributions from different expert authors have been assembled to give a current view on plant metabolic networks, from the analysis of the molecular parts to approaches of mathematical modeling of plant metabolic networks at the cellular level. Jörg Schwender received his Ph.D. in Biology in 1999 from the University of Karlsruhe / Germany. He is currently associate scientist in the biology department of Brookhaven National Laboratory, New York, USA. His main research interests are metabolic flux analysis and related approaches of modeling and analysis of metabolic networks in plants.

La 4e de couverture indique : "On connaît Darwin comme fondateur de la théorie de l'évolution. Ce que l'on sait moins, c'est que la grande passion de sa vie a été l'étude des orchidées dont il possédait une extraordinaire collection. Il s'est particulièrement intéressé à leur fécondation par des insectes. Sans les guêpes, y aurait-il encore des orchidées ? Ces dernières ont développé des "stratagèmes" pour attirer les guêpes mâles et les séduire. Les guêpes ne se contentent pas de transporter du pollen, elles font littéralement "jouir" les orchidées. Ces travaux viennent compléter la théorie de l'évolution par une théorie de "l'involution". Les branches de l'arbre de l'évolution viennent se croiser, se mêler. L'orchidée ne peut pas perdurer sans ses liens avec une autre espèce. Loin d'être un cas singulier, ce pourrait être la règle : les arbres et les champignons, les humains et les milliards de bactéries qui les peuplent... Cette nouvelle biologie, initiée par Lynn Margulis, s'oppose au "néodarwinisme", ou théorie du "gène égoïste", pour qui la "concurrence", et non la collaboration ou le lien, est le mécanisme de base. On sait comment cette théorie a essaimé, en particulier dans les sciences économiques, mais aussi en sociologie. La biologie de l'involution multiplie les découvertes. Les auteures poursuivent en présentant les travaux les plus récents sur le langage chimique des plantes, par exemple sur les plants de tabac... Une nouvelle biologie indispensable à l'heure du nouveau régime climatique qui exige que nous connaissions ce à quoi et par quoi nous sommes attachés"
